2. Visit a museum.

Museums and galleries are perfect for dates on a budget thanks to the free entry at most. Many venues also run “after hours” nights that are catered towards adults, meaning you won’t have to dodge school children while chatting with your date.

For example, the Natural History Museum runs “late” nights every last Friday of the month with different themes, while more than 150 galleries in east London stay open late the first Thursday of every month. While alcohol is available, getting plastered and knocking over some artwork is not advised.

Check the opening hours at your favourite museum or gallery for details.

4. Potter around a market.

Grab your coat and head to your nearest market with your date for a day out that’ll provide you with plenty of talking points.

As the cold weather draws, in why not visit one of the UK’s popular winter markets? For example, Bath Christmas Market (pictured above) opens from 23 November - 10 December and is guaranteed to leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

If it’s far too early for you to even think about Christmas, try a food market or flower market such as London’s Columbia Road Flower Market instead.
